neone notice that roger seems to be really passive agressive when he talks about john ;)
he really doesn't like backchat, he obviously didn't like that "funk" influence, he tends to downplay the success of john's singles...he needs to ease up on the poor man

roger doesn't do that...not that i kno of...anyways...john is awesome who would do that to him?
I don’t think it’s necessarily an attack towards John, but more of Roger's opinion towards the style of music John liked to write. Roger was always more into straight rock, where John liked to experiment with funk and wrote poppier songs. And Roger definitely isn’t one to keep his opinions to himself. If you just listen to Brian and Roger's comments on GVH I and II, Brian tends to try and downplay anything negative (like in the comments for It’s A Hard Life), but Roger is just brutally honest.
Is it any wonder why John doesn't want to join the other two on tour or in any other future endeavours??? I mean who in their right mind would after putting up with someone as rude, arrogant and insufferable as Roger for the amount of time Queen was together decide "Oh yes, I'll put myself through all that crap again" I somehow imagine that Freddie appreciated and respected John's talent and John as a person more than the other two did and that probably Freddie stuck up for John a lot. Yes, Roger is very talented musician but he's a sarcastic jerk and frankly, I think that's one of the reasons why John decided it was over for him when Freddie died.
they made had some battles but all friends do but another thing roger didn't like another one bite the dust
He didn't like performing the drum loop on the song, he never said anywhere he didn't like the actual song itself. Plus, Roger's a fairly opinionated person - he also rips apart several of Brian's songs and he also says flat-out he thought Brian's guitar solos were boring! And yet... somehow, they're still friends.
Roger was always a down-to-earth rocker and actually there are already enough of this boring concepts in Rock history (thats why I can never see Bruce Springsteen as something special) -
With Freddie came the pomp (I love "Its a Hard Life"!!!!) and Roger was always jealous because he was standing somehow in the shadow of Freddie.
When Freddie died the pomp died too, and Roger is again a talented but actually rather boring type of musician.

Roger didn't hate John, end of debate!
I think you'll find that Roger & John were quite close before Freddie died. John was involved in Rogers early solo work a fair bit and it was John & Roger who started work on Made In Heaven together.
I think Roger has come to resent John for not wanting to be part part of the supposed Queen machine and John has basically cut himself off from Brian & Roger communicating only via letter.
PS - AOBTD isn't a drum loop whatsoever.

with AOBTD i swear Brian said something like Roger had grave doubts about it in the studio, but LIVE, no. thats not saying he doesnt like the song at all.

bands disagree about all kinds of stuff - watch the documentaries and interviews - you'll see plenty of evidence of minor and major fallouts
and what the hell is wrong with him being honest?
at least he's not being a two-faced-sychophantic shit - saying he likes everythingjust to keep the peace - roger is a rocker - and most of the funk would've grated on him terribly

hmm, now ur not referencing anyone in particular there are u? ;)
Yeah, Im sure Roger hated John.Of course he did! You know NOTHING!
;)
Roger never hated John, for God's sake: they had 2 very different lifestyles and musical tastes, but it doesn't mean they didn't respect each other. Yes, a good evidence of it is the fact that they began working on "Made In Heaven" together - which made Brian a little angry, as far as I know. There were almost 2 groups of allies in Queen: Freddie & John for commercial, poppy songs (hey, they wrote "Friends Will Be Friends" together!); Roger & Brian for the pure rock n'roll side, although there are exceptions: "The Invisible Man" or "Breakthru" for Roger, "Princes Of The Universe" and "The Hitman" for Freddie, but, to my knowledge, John never wrote a real "rocker" for Queen. I think Roger is agressive about John because he retired, period.
